Sega Channel

From 1989-1993, the 16-bit revolution was in full swing, with the Sega Genesis, NEC Turbo Grafx 16, Super Nintendo, and SNK Neo-Geo (self-proclaimed 24-bit)

Sega Channel

Post by Mike_302 »

Who else got to experience this? I think it might to this day be one of the best gaming ideas I have ever seen..

I still remember loading it up when they changed the games and browsing to see what I could play for free, and trying to finish Phantasy Star any time it popped in before it got rotated out again :P

Man, that was one of the best things back then. 50 games per month, and hours of fun. Seems like every month when new games were uploaded, either me, my brother, or my sister attempted to get up early just so we could see the new games. Phantasy Star IV and Mega Man: The Wily Wars were a couple of my favorites on there. Unfortunately, it became harder for the Sega Channel to connect later on in it's lifespan.

I was aware of it when it was around, but never took part of it. Sounds like I missed out on some cool stuff.

I actually vaguely remember this; I believe an older friend of mine at the time had it.

I remember a friend had it and he had the high score for Mortal Kombat for the longest time for the state of Texas.

Never had it but it would have been sweet. No such thing as a cable connection where I lived.
